Video TourLooking for inspiration for a modern accessory dwelling unit (ADU)? Our project in Pacific Beach, San Diego, offers an incredible example of sleek, functional design. This 2 story modern ADU features a stunning metal shed roof that enhances both aesthetics and durability. The innovative layout offers versatile spaces with a mix of finished and semi-finished areas, ensuring flexibility for a variety of uses. This property is also in the coastal zone.
Modern ADU Design That Blends with the Main Property
The modern ADU design exterior boasts clean lines, a modern shed roof, and neutral color tones that complement the main residence. The horizontal railings of the external staircase and the black French doors add contemporary elegance while maintaining a cohesive look with the property. This project perfectly demonstrates how a detached ADU can enhance the character of the main property, whether the goal is visual distinction or integration.
On the first floor, the ADU offers a flexible semi-finished storage space. This is a good solution for homeowners who need extra storage and may consider expansion options down the road. The second story is accessible through an external staircase, complete with a sleek horizontal railing that lends a modern, minimalist touch. Clerestory windows bring in abundant natural light. This illuminates the kitchen and living area and creating an open, airy atmosphere that promotes a sense of spaciousness.
